are you an introvert or an extrovert?

I'm an extreme introvert. ...In fact, I would probably consider myself the definition of introversion.

I am definitely introverted, but I've learned how to properly "fake" otherwise when I have to. Adaptation! That may make me slightly less introverted on the scale compared to others, though.

I think I'm an extroverted introvert/ambivert. I like being alone with my thoughts, but I also like talking to people. I am shy, tend to be quiet except around people I'm comfortable with. In general don't like crowds, would rather be around people I know.
I also find that I can fake being more outgoing if I really try. I'm looking for work in retail right now, so I need to.

lol this is crazy i literally just got through watching a sermon on this .Im definately an introvert.I do well at work since I work retail but at the end of the day Im exhausted after dealing with people all day.Im really lucky Im off half the week and work the other half it provides the balance I need for space and quiet.

I consider myself a militant introvert.

 

[hallowbonnie]

Yeah i can see myself being militant too lol I can be very protective of my space and really defensive if i feel someone is being invasive at all (this mostly happens in a in person situation like at work).Its easy on computer safe behind a screen for me to feel safe and anonymous well on this particular site anyway but in person oh my im so very socially awkward.Its like Im in my own little bat cave just walking around lol.

I am an introvert-extrovert - I seem very introverted when you first meet me, but I enjoy social situations

My husband is the opposite: extrovert-introvert
He looks like he is a social butterfly, but he really doesn't like it

OH! Oh, oh, oh, I know this one, I ain't never been afraid walk up and talk to anyone, I AIN'T never been introverted, a little screwy I've been told, absolutely crazy when they let me have the mike but never introverted.

Any way, how do you flip someone so the skin is inside... oooh! That has got to be ugly!

My tendency is to be introverted. However i believe that is not God's plan for my life, because every time i try to hide it always gets disrupted. In my life i have come to see that being introverted (for me) is my being selfish somewhat. Oooohhhh don't get me wrong, i do sooo enjoy my quiet time, but i have to learn to be open to ministering to others' needs before my own sometimes.
I am like others that i really need my time with the Lord to rejuvinate from being with people, (and i can get pretty militant about that!) . For some reason it has a tendency to take it's toll, and cause me to be a tad cranky if i cannot have time to be quiet. However i have realized also that i have had a history of being around people who are more talkative or demanding of attention, and i tend to be intimidated (like i'm going to say something wrong or not be paid attention to) by those types when it comes to speaking. I guess it's due to how i was raised.
Sometime i feel as if i were to have all the attention or the ability to say what i want to without being interrupted, that it's not as important as the others who seem like they can just speak without a care of being accepted or not. It's probably just a lot of mixed up wrong thinking i suppose.
Blessings

You're ok, you just haven't gotten old enough to settle yet but you'll get there.

I get this, too, though in my case I think it's just a part of my personality. Maybe somewhat learned, as I was very talkative to everybody as a kid. It was when I got older that I stopped spilling whatever was in my mind to perfect strangers. I think of it as a way I keep the negative people out.

Shoot i learned the hard way to not spill it all even to my mom. Just like you said it helps to keep the negative out and from reactions to what i thought i was saying in private.

Plus my dad, raised us under kids should be seen and not herd. I know he was just trying to instill being respectful. And i can appreciate him for that!

I'm a little from "Column A" a little from "Column B"...I tend to "light up" around people- like I'm an actor who's always "on" but it's so draining that I have to have my alone time. I love people, but they drain me.

At first I did not understand, about being ambivert, until now, I can except this fact.
